| The site sucks, no other way to put it. The old Newsday.com site was great. You could actually get to the site, and once there, it loaded quickly and information was easy to find. It was displayed well. It was logical.
Then, Cablevision redid the whole site in some late-90s themed mess. The site is barely usable. CV even changed the format of the printed paper a little. Without spending a half hour typing out details, they basically "dumbed" the paper down to make it look more like a tabloid. I went from an every-day Newsday.com reader to a twice a month Newsday.com reader. It's just not cutting it.
FWIW, I am a Cablevision subscriber from TV/Phone/Internet. Right now, I'm happy with their services and aside from buggy STB's, the phone and Internet (Boost) is perfect. With that said, if/when I become a FiOS subscriber, it'll be a cold day in hell before I pay for Newsday.com.
I'm not surprised they only have 35 paying customers. I didn't even think it would be that high. I thought it would be closer to zero.

| You're so right. When I was a commuter in the 1990s (instead of a telecommuter today) Newsday was my subway paper. Easier to handle than the Times, but more civil and less seedy than the Post or Daily News. Although relatively young, Newsday has a proud heritage. It's a shame to see it trashed like this. |
